Remove Water From Your Phone Speakers After an Unexpected Dunk Using This Web-Based Tool
At some point, even the most cautious of us have a smartphone mishap, particularly when our over $ 1,000 equipment is dipped in a puddle, a pool or, more likely, a toilet.
In general, the best way out in this situation is to turn off your phone immediately and then put it in a bag of instant rice for a day or two to dry out.
If you have a water resistant phone, then the threat of destruction may be slightly lower, in which case you just need to drain the water as quickly as possible.

The idea is to quickly drain the water so that it doesn’t linger in the speakers and ruin your phone.
If you are exposed to water from a downpour rather than a toilet, this may be all you need to get the job done. If your phone does get wet, I would still recommend taking it out of service for at least a few hours (preferably 24 hours) and leaving it in rice to make sure everything is dry. In the case of an expensive phone, spending a day without a device is much better than replacing it.
